Well, the ones getting caught definitely aren't.
- ct520 7y agoLOL I agree. I would expect a message board tied to entrepreneurship to have it fair share of risk takers. Maybe tech is different but most if not all the self made people I know uh were not always so squeaky clean, just good at not getting caught.
- WheelsAtLarge 7y agoSuccessful entrepreneurs break the rules all the time. They just make sure they are not the type that will send them to jail. The perfect examples are Uber and Facebook. I'm sure their founders broke the rules left and right, and we've all read about some of the cases, as they grew their startups. The difference is that they were sure not to break the ones that got them in legal trouble.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoKind of. Uber's a bad example - that company turned breaking the law into a business model, using investment money to move fast and keep the lawmen at bay.
- ct520 7y agoIMO I agree with your statement but I would not say they just make sure they are not the type that will send them to jail. More along the lines as - when they do take a risk that could line them in jail they are more prepared / smarter then the average criminal and avoid jail. (Civil lawsuits more likely)
